Two 1920's Browns Hotel Club illegal casino chips.  These chips came from the Browns Hotel Club that was located in French Lick Indiana. It is a clay crest & seal  Fluer de Lis and a Maltese Cross.  The chips, and a photo copy of the Browns Hotel are matted in a photo frame with a brass title plate. The chip set comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a brochure that states a brief history of the Browns Hotel.   The frame is 8 x 10 inches and the chip is approx 1 1/2 inches.  This is a super nice souvenir from the legendary Browns Hotel.  Please look at the photo's carefully and ask questions before you buy. History Note:   The Browns Hotel was built on the corner of Indiana Ave. and Main St. in French Lick Indiana by Col. Al Brown.  In 1915 Col. Brown was ousted by business tycoon and gambler Ed. Ballard.  The illegal club was located on the second floor and catered to the country's social elite and notorious.  Ranging from Al Capone and Diamond Jim to Hollywood stars like Error Flynn and the Marx Brothers, as well as countless others.  Even Babe Ruth was know to visit the valley's illegal clubs during his career.  Illegal gambling was shut down in 1946 and the Browns Hotel was demolished in 1965.  These chips and just a few other rare items are all that remain of the once exciting, and historic Browns Hotel.  French Lick & West Baden was a gambling capital and was considered the Monte Carlo of America.   I have been selling collectibles for 30 years and have been with ebay 15 years.   I will be selling my illegal chip collection from the Browns Hotel Club in units of 1, 2 and 3 chips in matted frames.  There is only a limited number of these chips, and they are bound to gain value as casino chip collecting continues to grow.  All sets comes with Certificates of Authenticity issued by me, and are backed by letters of provenance and detail research that directly links these chips to the Browns Hotel and were originally owned by Ed Ballard.
